Norway sketches, first part!

So here we are, home again, filled with memories of driving snow, northern lights, and polar nights! It was as exhilarating a time as last year's but colder and much snowier--which I, of course, loved.

Here are the first sketches. All the snow and otherwise opaque weather decreased visibility, thus I had fewer opportunities to sketch the scenery. But I loved every minute of being there and that, in the end, is what counts.

I am looking at these again. I love that fourth one from the top. That thing (chunk of glacier? rock?) has a hell of a silhouette. And such bold lines, thick and thin, this way and that way! It makes me want to go find something to draw.

Thank you, everyone ! Marly, Okay, I'll come and stay and we can go for long, snowy walks, and I can draw and paint while you write. Deal? Norwegian Granny, hop on a Hurtigruten boat and go and marvel at your gorgeous country!
